10As dead flies cause the perfumer's ointment to stink,; so also does a little foolishness to one's reputation of wisdom and honor.H4194H2070H8081H7543H5042H887H4592H5531H3368H2451H35192A wise man's heart tends toward his right, but a fool's heart tends toward his left.H2450H3820H3225H3684H3820H80403Furthermore, the way a fool lives shows he has no sense; he proclaims to everyone that he's a fool.H5530H1980H1870H3820H2638H559H55304If your overseer gets angry at you, don't resign, because calmness pacifies great offenses.H7307H4910H5927H3240H4725H4832H3240H1419H23995Here's another tragedy that I've observed on earth, a kind of error that comes from an overseer:H3426H7451H7200H8121H7684H3318H6440H79896Foolishness is given great honor, while the prosperous sit in lowly places.H5529H5414H7227H4791H6223H3427H82167And I have observed servants riding on horses, while princes walk on the ground like servants.H7200H5650H5483H8269H1980H5650H7768Whoever digs a pit may fall into it, and whoever breaks through a wall may suffer a snake bite.H2658H1475H5307H6555H1447H5175H53919Someone who quarries stone might be injured; someone splitting logs can fall into danger.H5265H68H6087H1234H6086H553310If someone's ax is blunt?the edge isn't sharpened? then more strength will be needed. Putting wisdom to work will bring success.H1270H6949H7043H6440H1396H2428H2451H3504H378711If a serpent strikes despite being charmed, there's no point in being a snake charmer.H5175H5391H3908H3956H1167H350412The words spoken by the wise are gracious, but the lips of a fool will devour him.H1697H2450H6310H2580H8193H3684H110413He begins his speech with foolishness, and concludes it with evil madness.H8462H1697H6310H5531H319H6310H7451H194814The fool overflows with words, and no one can predict what will happen. As to what will happen after him, who can explain it?H5530H7235H1697H120H3045H310H504615The work of a fool so wears him out that he can't even find his way to town.H5999H3684H3021H3045H3212H589216Woe to the land whose king is a youth and whose princes feast in the morning.H337H776H4428H5288H8269H398H124217That land is blessed whose king is of noble birth, whose princes feast at the right time, for strength, and not to become drunk.H835H776H4428H1121H2715H8269H398H6256H1369H835818Through slothfulness the roof deteriorates, and a house leaks because of idleness.H6103H4746H4355H8220H3027H1004H181119Feasts are for laughter, wine makes life pleasant, and money speaks to everything.H3899H6213H7814H3196H8055H2416H3701H603020Do not curse the king, even in your thoughts. Do not curse the rich, even in your bedroom. For a bird will fly by and tell what you say, or something with wings may talk about it.H7043H4428H4093H7043H6223H2315H4904H5775H8064H3212H6963H1167H3671H5046H1697
